Kill La Kill cosplay group at Anime Boston.

I just got back from Boston Monday night, and I definitely underestimated how long it would take me to recover! Not only were there the long (but fun!) hours of Anime Boston blogging, but on Monday John, Andrew and I decided to walk the Freedom Trail—in below freezing weather! It was definitely a full trip.

So here’s some other stuff to look at:

• I definitely encourage you to check out the Anime Boston Tumblr. My team and I published nearly 40 posts in three days, and there are some gems in there. My most popular post of the weekend? Anime to cheer you up.

• The discussions on r/anime. On Friday, I’m doing an AMA (Ask Me Anything) here at 2 PM Eastern to talk about Otaku Journalism, otaku journalism, and my recent interviews with professional anime journalists. I’ll post another reminder on Friday so you don’t miss it.

• Steven Savage, the geek career coach who wrote the introduction to my book (and also to whom my book is dedicated) interviewed me at his site, Musehack, about writing and self-publishing an ebook.

• If you haven’t seen it yet, the Escapist wrote up my book release. This is the most high profile publicity I’ve gotten for my book so far, and it was neat to see my homegrown book on a relatively popular site.

Left: on the Freedom Trail. Right: at Logan Airport. The TSA agent who patted me down recognized my shirt and told me she was an anime otaku, too! 

Come back on Friday for your regularly scheduled Otaku Links. Until then, I’ll be digging out of my inbox and getting back to work!
